Take the Challenge!

Maryland's Buy Local Week & the Maryland Buy Local Challenge

July 17-25, 2021

Governor Larry Hogan officially named July 17-25 as “Maryland Buy Local Week​” to support Maryland farms and seafood operations that continue to provide Marylanders with fresh, local products. Maryland Buy Local Week encourages citizens to take the Buy Local Challenge​ by incorporating at least one locally grown, produced, or harvested product into their meals each day.
